UP Board 12th Preparation Tips

Read below to find a few UP board 12th preparation tips and advice that you can follow while preparing for the UP board class 12 exam:

1. Eating Habits

Eat healthy, home-cooked food and stay hydrated. Avoid junk and outdoor food from a few months before the exam. 

2. Planning

Studying haphazardly without any plan leads to no result. Make the best timetable to study for class 12th with daily or weekly targets. Do not make targets too tough to achieve. 

3. Go through the Syllabus

Going through the syllabus book is very important. Before starting preparation, you should know the entire syllabus. Try to complete the syllabus well before the exam. 

4. Revision

Studying without revision leads to zero results. All hard work and planning will go in vain if you do not revise what you have learned. Revising the chapters twice or thrice is very important. Our brain retains only 60% of what we study. Therefore, we should revise the part the next day, a week later, and a month later.
